<p class="perex">BERLÍN - Štvornásobný majster sveta Formuly 1 Max Verstappen bude aj v nasledujúcej sezóne jazdiť za tím Red Bull.</p>
<p data-end="288" data-start="0">Pre nemecký web Sport.de to potvrdil tímový poradca Helmut Marko. Vyvrátil tak špekulácie, že by úradujúci šampión mal po skončení tohto ročníka prestúpiť ku konkurenčnému Mercedesu.</p><!-- ad placed --><span class="addbox" id="box_article_ad"/><!-- /ad -->&#13;
&#13;
<p data-end="385" data-start="290"><em><strong>„Áno, môžem potvrdiť, že Max Verstappen bude za Red Bull jazdiť aj v roku 2026,“</strong></em> povedal Marko.</p>&#13;
&#13;
<p data-end="626" data-start="387">Dvadsaťsedemročný holandský pilot má s Red Bullom zmluvu do roku 2028, no obsahuje klauzulu o možnom predčasnom ukončení. Tú by mohol aktivovať, ak by po víkendovej Veľkej cene Maďarska neklesol najnižšie na tretie miesto. A to sa nestane.</p>&#13;
&#13;
<p data-end="849" data-start="628">Pred štrnástou Grand Prix sezóny v Budapešti Verstappen zaostáva za dvojicou jazdcov McLarenu – Oscarom Piastrim a Landom Norrisom. Tretie miesto si však stále drží s náskokom 28 bodov pred Georgeom Russellom z Mercedesu.</p>&#13;
&#13;
<p data-end="1071" data-start="851">Tento rok Verstappen vybojoval dve víťazstvá – v Japonsku a na Veľkej cene Emilia Romagna. Naposledy skončil v nedeľu v Belgicku štvrtý. Na austrálskeho lídra majstrovstiev sveta Piastriho však stráca výrazných 81 bodov.</p>
<p data-end="1241" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="" data-start="1073">Red Bull je v Pohári konštruktérov až na štvrtom mieste a začiatkom júla po 20 rokoch prepustil šéfa Christiana Hornera. Na jeho miesto nastúpil Francúz Laurent Mekies.</p>
